My Second Blog post of the day. I just want to be overly dramatic about my figure. I've gotten fat and its kinda irreversible as of now. I've done hard core workouts, I ate less and still? nothing. How did i know??? By going to a mall and trying out clothes that were too sizes bigger than what I was before and it still doesnt fit me. It was JUST TOO FOUL.

BIRTHDAY RESOLUTION: LOSE THOSE FLABS FOR GOOD :| 2 MONTHS OF NO RICE.

Today is the day before my birthday and my family and I went to church, as it was tradition to go there and be 'blessed' on my birthday.. and I was okay with it. I'm not totally against that and sometimes I even enjoy the homily but what had transpired earlier was a different story.

It was a very hot day so I wore a tank top,shorts, vest and my harlow necklace. So we went inside the church and I just listened... then when the old ladies were getting donations around the church, one by one they started to look at me, some of them had looked at me as if i were a prostitute or as if i've sinned. I didn't know why until one of them came by my side and asked my mom "magcocommunion po ba siya?" and we were both like "hindi po" and then I got mad and weirded out. I didn't know what her problem was and why did she have to ask my mom when i was just beside her. As if I couldn't talk. And then I saw the Church decorum sign and well they prohibit tank tops and shorts which was the exact thing that I was wearing that day. SO YEAH MY BAD. but I do not understand why it was like that. I dressed pretty decently. Its not like I wore Micro-mini shorts or a backless top. It was a normal outfit and they treat me like a rebel or something. That made me hate the whole thing .. right then and there.

Minutes have passed and I've decided to let that go since maybe they are just too traditional or something but then there was this prayer that really sent my thoughts on fire. I started saying it cause I thought that it was just another normal prayer but as the prayer wore on , i realized that it was about the RH BILL. It was for the government to consider "morals" and to act "accordingly". Seriously I stopped reciting when I realized what they were doing. It was like they were trying to brainwash the people there into supporting their side. This one really made me furious. It made me remember my other birthday , when my mom asked me to join the mass in Robinsons and the priest, instead of giving substantial spiritual, life enriching lessons, he just kept criticizing the government... PGMA to be exact. Now it just makes me think about what their real motives are. Because before it was clear to me that the main goal was to spread the word of God. And now I see it as a domination scheme. Its more political than spiritually inclined. As what I have read in one post " the church must change or they will lose all their faithful followers."

Once upon a time, there was a duck who had silky black emo hair. He loves to sing and play all day. He was different than all the other ducks...cause he was always happy and always horny. YEP. YOU READ THAT RIGHT. He had duck porn videos of the other girl duckies on the other side of duck world.

Yeah so anyway, he met this fairy princess who always fed him bread whenever he comes close. They became secret friends since he never told anyone where he gets his food and the girl only visits the place in secret. So one day, the ducked decided to be brave and talk to the beautiful fairy princess.. At first, the girl did not understand cause all he kept saying was "quack" so the girl left and brought a duck communicator so that they could talk. The days wore on and they were so close, till they fell inlove. The girl took the duck into her castle and made him king. They were so inlove that they didnt care what others thought about their love affair. They had 20 royal ducks for babies and 4 beautiful quacking human girls :)

I just feel like Happy endings in Fairy tales rarely come to normal people. I mean people can fall in love... with their bestfriends, some stranger or just about anyone. But can people really stay "Forever?" I don't know but it seems far-fetched. People break up all the time. After saying things like "I love you forever" "Til death do us part" yadda yadda, they fight, and its either the boy/girl walks out dramatically, the guilty partner follows and try to apologize, and then it doesn't work, then its totally over and all you're left with are memories and tears. THEN comes the 3-month rule. It's like a chance to save the relationship, or its the time to heal and to wait for both parties to move on until they find someone else to date. I don't know if it applies to everyone but honestly I think it's pretty stupid. I mean, if you wanna date other people then do so. You broke up with him/her and so you are not expected to even care about each other's lives anymore. THEN... When one party gets a new partner, the green monster pops out. Girls usually get territorial even on those that are not theirs anymore. For sentimental reasons I guess. So when they see that cheesy scenario, they find a rebound partner to make the other feel jealous. Which usually doesn't work cause its quite obvious. After a few sober months or years... they both move on and be STRANGERS again. There are some nice cases where they became friends but it can be awkward at times cause you will be reminded of what you used to be... except if you had a mutual understanding about the breakup... which is rare but I would mostly prefer that if ever...

Complications are always part of any good (or bad) relationships. If you really want it, you stay and work hard as much as you can so you would never have regrets about anything.As i've read on one quote site: Love may not make the world go round, but it makes the ride worthwhile :)

THE WORLD DID NOT END TODAY (MAY 21 2011) as predicted by Harold Camping. So what happens now? I kept googling earlier about some news on this, if they've created a mob or something cause some followers did give away their possessions cause they were sooooo damn sure that its gonna happen today. YOU KNOW, GOOD PEOPLE WILL DIE TODAY... RIDE A ANGELIC BUS THROUGH THE PEARLY GATES AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER, while the NOT-S0-GOOD lives and wait for the tribulation thing for like 5 months or so until the end of the world and they all take that SIZZLING SUBMARINE AND ITS DESTINATION? UNDERGROUND. WITH ALL THE HELLHOUNDS WAITING WITH OPEN ARMS. And with all this talk, guess you can't blame me for thinking about where I'm going. I've been a good person to others, its just that my beliefs are not-so-good in the eyes of many. So Idunno I think i should go somewhere in between. LOL.

I dont really see why people have to know when the world is gonna end. I mean if you wanna do something good, then why not do it now? be with your love ones.. do it now. Its just frustrating for people to be hypocrites and just say that they have strong faith and have lived good lives when the fact is that these people only do good because of the rewards & punishment scheme or the idea of heaven and hell. We have all sinned so people, if you wanna repent, do so now but don't think that your hands are squeaky clean.

OH AND ANOTHER THING. WITH REGARDS TO THE TITLE OF THIS POST. THE BIBLE IS NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE SO FOR NUMEROUS FAILED PREDICTIONS. The bible was written by men as well. It wasn't co-authored by God, its a story book that contains story that may or may have not happened so people can have it as a basis of how to live or how not to live their lives. And as a lot of people know, there are a lot of contradictions in the bible and some even said that it doesn't keep up with the times, its not updated or anything so why base your predictions on it? in fact, i don't even think that there's a reliable source for knowing when the world is gonna end cause no one knows, we're mere mortals ignorant what is out there. So stop computing the years or deriving it for some event cause YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. What is important is you've done everything you want and what needs to be done. Be prepared whenever and however its gonna occur.

so here's a list of failed prophecies from religioustolerance.org (I dont think its updated but well you get the idea)

About 30 CE: The Christian Scriptures (New Testament), when interpreted literally, appear to record many predictions by Yeshua of Nazareth (Jesus Christ) that God's Kingdom would arrive within a very short period, or was actually in the process of arriving. For example, Jesus is recorded as saying in Matthew 16:28: "...there shall be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." In Matthew 24:34, Yeshua is recorded as saying: "...This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." Since the life expectancy in those days was little over 30 years, Jesus appears to have predicted his second coming sometime during the 1st century CE. It didn't happen. More details.

About 60 CE: Interpreting the Epistles of Paul of Tarsus literally, his writings seem to imply that Jesus would return and usher in a rapture during the lifetime of persons who were living in the middle of the 1st century. More details.

About 90 CE: Saint Clement 1 predicted that the world end would occur at any moment.

2nd Century CE: Prophets and Prophetesses of the Montanist movement predicted that Jesus would return sometime during their lifetime and establish the New Jerusalem in the city of Pepuza in Asia Minor.

365 CE: A man by the name of Hilary of Poitiers, announced that the end would happen that year. It didn't.

375 to 400 CE: Saint Martin of Tours, a student of Hilary, was convinced that the end would happen sometime before 400 CE.

500 CE: This was the first year-with-a-nice-round-number-panic. The antipope Hippolytus and an earlier Christian academic Sextus Julius Africanus had predicted Armageddon at about this year.

968 CE: An eclipse was interpreted as a prelude to the end of the world by the army of the German emperor Otto III.

992: Good Friday coincided with the Feast of the Annunciation; this had long been believed to be the event that would bring forth the Antichrist, and thus the end-times events foretold in the book of Revelation. Records from Germany report that a new sun rose in the north and that as many as 3 suns and 3 moons were fighting. There does not appear to be independent verification of this remarkable event.

1000-JAN-1: Many Christians in Europe had predicted the end of the world on this date. As the date approached, Christian armies waged war against some of the Pagan countries in Northern Europe. The motivation was to convert them all to Christianity, by force if necessary, before Christ returned in the year 1000. Meanwhile, some Christians had given their possessions to the Church in anticipation of the end. Fortunately, the level of education was so low that many citizens were unaware of the year. They did not know enough to be afraid. Otherwise, the panic might have been far worse than it was. Unfortunately, when Jesus did not appear, the church did not return the gifts. Serious criticism of the Church followed. The Church reacted by exterminating some heretics. Agitation settled down quickly, as it later did in the year 2000.

1000-MAY: The body of Charlemagne was disinterred on Pentecost. A legend had arisen that an emperor would rise from his sleep to fight the Antichrist.

1005-1006: A terrible famine throughout Europe was seen as a sign of the nearness of the end.

1033: Some believed this to be the 1000th anniversary of the death and resurrection of Jesus. His second coming was anticipated. Jesus' actual date of execution is unknown, but is believed to be in the range of 27 to 33 CE.

1147: Gerard of Poehlde decided that the millennium had actually started in 306 CE during Constantine's reign. Thus, the world end was expected in 1306 CE.

1179: John of Toledo predicted the end of the world during 1186. This estimate was based on the alignment of many planets.

1205: Joachim of Fiore predicted in 1190 that the Antichrist was already in the world, and that King Richard of England would defeat him. The Millennium would then begin, sometime before 1205.

1284: Pope Innocent III computed this date by adding 666 years onto the date the Islam was founded.

1346 and later: The black plague spread across Europe, killing one third of the population. This was seen as the prelude to an immediate end of the world. Unfortunately, the Christians had previously killed a many of the cats, fearing that they might be familiars of Witches. The fewer the cats, the more the rats. It was the rat fleas that spread the black plague.

1496: This was approximately 1500 years after the birth of Jesus. Some mystics in the 15th century predicted that the millennium would begin during this year.

1524: Many astrologers predicted the imminent end of the world due to a world wide flood. They obviously had not read the Genesis story of the rainbow.

1533: Melchior Hoffman predicted that Jesus' return would happen a millennium and a half after the nominal date of his execution, in 1533. The New Jerusalem was expected to be established in Strasbourg, Germany. He was arrested and died in a Strasbourg jail.

1669: The Old Believers in Russia believed that the end of the world would occur in this year. 20 thousand burned themselves to death between 1669 and 1690 to protect themselves from the Antichrist.

1689: Benjamin Keach, a 17th century Baptist, predicted the end of the world for this year.

1736: British theologian and mathematician William Whitson predicted a great flood similar to Noah's for OCT-13 of this year.

1792: This was the date of the end of the world calculated by some believers in the Shaker movement.

1794: Charles Wesley, one of the founders of Methodism, thought Doomsday would be in this year.

1830: Margaret McDonald, a Christian prophetess, predicted that Robert Owen would be the Antichrist. Owen helped found New Harmony, IN.

1832?: Joseph Smith (1805-1844) was the founder of the Church of Christ, which became the Restorationist movement after many schisms. It now includes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- a.k.a. the Mormons, and about a hundred other denominations and sects. He heard a voice while praying. He wrote, in Doctrines and Covenants section 130:14: "I was once praying very earnestly to know the time of the coming of the Son of Man, when I heard a voice repeat the following:"

15: "Joseph, my son, if thou livest until thou art eighty-five years old, thou shalt see the face of the Son of Man; therefore let this suffice, and trouble me no more on this matter."

16: "I was left thus, without being able to decide whether this coming referred to the beginning of the millennium or to some previous appearing, or whether I should die and thus see his face."

17: "I believe the coming of the Son of Man will not be any sooner than that time." 14The year in which this event occurred is not recorded. However, one commentator suggested 1832 or earlier. 16 Smith is later recorded as having said:"I prophesy in the name of the Lord God, and let it be written--the Son of Man will not come in the clouds of heaven till I am eighty-five years old." 17

Smith would have reached the age of 85 during 1890. Unfortunately, by that year, Smith had been dead for almost a half century, having been assassinated by a mob. Note that his prophecy is ambiguous. It can be interpreted that:

Jesus would return during 1890 (which did not materialize) or that 1890 would pass without Jesus' return (which did come to pass).Some anti-Mormon sources quote only verses 14 and 15, and draw the former conclusion -- that Smith's prophecy failed.

1843-MAR-21: William Miller, founder of the Millerite movement, predicted that Jesus would come on this date. A very large number of Christians accepted his prophecy.

1844-OCT-22: When Jesus did not return, Miller predicted this new date. In an event which is now called "The Great Disappointment," many Christians sold their property and possessions, quit their jobs and prepared themselves for the second coming. Nothing happened; the day came and went without incident.

1850: Ellen White, founder of the Seven Day Adventists movement, made many predictions of the timing of the end of the world. All failed. On 1850-JUN-27 she prophesied that only a few months remained before the end. She wrote: "My accompanying angel said, 'Time is almost finished. Get ready, get ready, get ready.' ...now time is almost finished...and what we have been years learning, they will have to learn in a few months." 10

1856 or later: At Ellen White's last prediction, she said that she was shown in a vision the fate of believers who attended the 1856 SDA conference. She wrote "I was shown the company present at the Conference. Said the angel: 'Some food for worms, some subjects of the seven last plagues, some will be alive and remain upon the earth to be translated at the coming of Jesus." 11 That is, some of the attendees would die of normal diseases; some would die from plagues at the last days, others would still be alive when Jesus came. "By the early 1900s all those who attended the conference had passed away, leaving the Church with the dilemma of trying to figure out how to explain away such a prominent prophetic failure." 12

1881: Mother Shipton, (1488 - 1561), a 16th century mystic predicted the end of the world: "...The world to an end shall come; in eighteen hundred and eighty-one."

1891 or before: On 1835-FEB-14, Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon church, attended a meeting of church leaders. He said that the meeting had been called because God had commanded it. He announced that Jesus would return within 56 years -- i.e. before 1891-FEB-15. (History of the Church 2:182)

1914 was one of the more important estimates of the start of the war of Armageddon by the Jehovah's Witnesses (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society). They based their prophecy of 1914 from prophecy in the book of Daniel, Chapter 4. The writings referred to "seven times". The WTS interpreted each "time" as equal to 360 days, giving a total of 2520 days. This was further interpreted as representing 2520 years, measured from the starting date of 607 BCE. This gave 1914 as the target date. When 1914 passed, they changed their prediction; 1914 became the year that Jesus invisibly began his rule.

1914, 1915, 1918, 1920, 1925, 1941, 1975 and 1994, etc. were other dates that the Watchtower Society (WTS) or its members predicted. Since late in the 19th century, they had taught that the "battle of the Great Day of God Almighty" (Armageddon) would happen in 1914 CE. It didn't. The next major estimate was 1925. Watchtower magazine predicted: "The year 1925 is a date definitely and clearly marked in the Scriptures, even more clearly than that of 1914; but it would be presumptuous on the part of any faithful follower of the Lord to assume just what the Lord is going to do during that year." 6 The Watchtower Society selected 1975 as its next main prediction. This was based on the estimate "according to reliable Bible chronology Adam was created in the year 4026 BCE, likely in the autumn of the year, at the end of the sixth day of creation." 8 They believed that the year 1975 a promising date for the end of the world, as it was the 6,000th anniversary of Adam's creation. Exactly 1,000 years was to pass for each day of the creation week. This prophecy also failed. The current estimate is that the end of the world as we know it will happen precisely 6000 years after the creation of Eve. 9 There is no way of knowing when this happened. More details on the WTS predictions.

1919: Meteorologist Albert Porta predicted that the conjunction of 6 planets would generate a magnetic current that would cause the sun to explode and engulf the earth on DEC-17.

Yep you read that right. The world is gonna end tomorrow or 3 minutes from now (may 21, 2011) according to Harold Camping? (did i get it right?) or just some dude who did some study on the bible and he said that the bible says it all and he knew since 1994 or something that the world will come crumbling down on 2011. but... he did say that it might end on 1994 but thats just because he hasnt completed his research yet. and now that he did.. will the world end? idunno i really dont think so. I actually believe that its gonna happen eventually with whats been happening to the world.. you know drastic changes and all and death tolls are up and stuff... but you never know. There's no exact date. But we have to be prepared if it did. Guess its planned or something. If it doesnt end hope everyone can still change for the better and not just cause they think being good will land them on the gates of heaven or something. sooo i'm blabbering but idunno just wanna blog about it.

oh and yes today my eyes hurt really bad i think i have stye... which is like a pimple like bump on the upper inner eyelid and as i have researched this will go away eventually but I'm just scared cause this might group or something. errr no. i love my eyes :(

Okay so i know i shouldnt be blogging by now because i have a lot of pending tasks but I just feel like I had to this since its the last day of OJT and I feel kinda sad about leaving the place. The whole experience really made an impact on me, I learned a lot of stuff and I met a lot of great people. I am now more inspired to become a lawyer since I kinda feel like I now have atleast a bit of background when it comes to the Rule of Law in the Philippines. Fixing applications by the people there made me think about what kind of lawyer I should be. I definitely wouldn't want to be self-serving. I want to help those people whose voices are not heard.

Yeah so anyway, what we did was we bought doughnuts as a farewell party for the three of us since yesterday our boss bought pizzas and softdrinks for us which was really touching cause We or I felt appreciated :) So yeah we talked, fixed our case studies and other stuff.. So yeah I'm definitely going to miss them so I'll try to visit them soon :) They kinda remind me of my host family in caloocan, the Manjares family. I felt attached to them and I badly want to visit them... if only I had the means to do it :( Well maybe someday I just wish that they would still be there :)

Wish one of our ojt mates, Kuya mark was there so we could take pictures with him like what we did earlier :) Too bad Ate Bing didn't want to have her picture taken but we shot her secretly anyway ;)

--- I am now on the process of finishing my requirements so I can finally enjoy my less than a week vacation xD I have a lot of books to read!

So I went to lush the other day to get some soaps cause I've heard tons of good reviews on youtube about Lush so I decided to try them out. Honestly before I never really liked Lush because I didn't see the need to buy expensive smelly soaps to make me feel good. But now everything changed when I smelled their soaps.. ITS PHENOMENAL. I didn't even know which ones i should buy and the lady was kinda irritated with me cause I keep picking stuff up and putting them back :)) So in the end I bought Honey, I washed the kids soap, and Demon in the Dark soap. These were pretty interesting and they smell awesome. Specially HWITK :) I bought demon in the dark cause I thought it would be a nice morning soap to wake me up since it has a pepperminty smell to it and it has done a great job of waking me up in the morning for the past two days that i've used it :) Its very refreshing :)

What I love about these soaps is that the scent lingers even after hours have passed especially the honey, i washed the kids soap. And it is super creamy and I just love, love love it :)) These soaps make me want to take a bath 3-4 times a day. Too bad I couldn't get the bath bombs cause I need a bathtub and I don't have that.

Also I got Buffy (the backside slayer) which has been raved so many times on youtube so I decided to try it out. I'm not really fond of the smell and I don't really find it necessary so I may not repurchase that one. But its a good scrub and it makes my skin really moisturized.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING MORE STUFF FROM LUSH. Maybe i could try the mask of magnaminty, coalface, ice blue soap, rockstar soap and of course another honey I washed the kids cause that is by far my most treasured soap :)))

I dont know how to start this review... but i guess i could say that it is AWESOME. its extremely moisturizing hence the name, its smells like watermelon which i love compared to regular lipsticks.. it goes on like a chapstick and its not sticky. I even prefer to wear these more than my MAC lipsticks..

So i bought 4:

Peach Colada- This one comes out sheer but its just a perfect peach color with gold sparkles. I don't like the fact that i can really feel the glitters on my lips but otherwise it's a great color :)

Sugar Plum Ice- Another Nude color, great color pay-off and it has some (silver) kinda glitters on them.

Born With It- Almost the same as the nude blush but with more pink and gold sparkles.

Nude Blush-- As the name implies its a nude color with a pinkih undertone.

I'm not gonna post swatches just because I know that there are a lot of swatches on the internet and its pretty much the same.
